Card 3
A lovely Christmas
Card in the traditional Christmas colours. Card size: A5
-
Cut a piece of Blitzen Mistletoe
cardstock the size of the folded card and stick it on the front of
the card. Measuring carefully cut a rectangle of the Blitzen
Cranberry cardstock leaving a margin the same size all the way
around. Now stick the Cranberry cardstock onto the centre of the card.
-
Cut two strips of Green/Gold Stars
sheer Christmas ribbon and stick them on the top and bottom of the
Cranberry cardstock, I used our disappearing glue stick as it dries
clear and wont show through the ribbon. You could add ribbon to the
sides also if you like.
-
Now embellish your card to your liking.
I used CraftyBitz DS42 and padded fabric gold stars. I placed a
"Merry Christmas" banner in the top left corner of the Cranberry and
a glittering green Christmas present in the opposite corner. I then
dotted padded gold stars on the Mistletoe margin and another 3 stars
above a beautiful Golden Christmas tree from the CraftyBitz pack.
You could make the
card even more personal and include the names of the recipient in
the space below the tree.
